We’ll cut to the chase: Youngblood is the makeup line that you need in your beauty bag. Traditional cosmetics products are filled with synthetic colors, artificial fragrances, alcohol, petroleum, and other harsh chemicals, all of which you won’t find in this premier mineral makeup line. Plus, you won’t find talc in any Youngblood products. Talc is used as a filler in cosmetics and clogs pores, drying out and irritating your skin.
Founded in 1996 by Pauline Youngblood, a medical esthetician, this line of luxury mineral cosmetics not only covers your skin’s imperfections but also allows it to breathe and naturally heal. Mineral makeup is developed from a solid substance, which occur naturally in rocks, and is then micronized into crystals. This type of makeup reflects light and gives the appearance of a smooth, unblemished complexion. Along with being healthier for your skin, mineral makeup is richer in color than traditional cosmetics, doesn’t harbor bacteria and therefore, poses a lower risk of an allergic reaction, and is great for those who have skin conditions such as rosacea, acne, and discoloration. Youngblood differs from most mineral makeup lines, in that it infuses a blend of minerals such as malachite, rhodolite, hematite and zincite to help protect cells and tissue.
